The wait for Beyoncé's new album is finally over - well, almost
Grammy-winning icon Beyoncé is done-done with making people wait it out. The superstar performer has finally come through with some much-needed news about a brand new studio effort called Renaissance.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance album is dropping this summer
While details are still coming together, folks can go ahead and pencil in July 29 as the slated drop date for her first project in years.
It will be Beyonce Knowles’ first drop of new music since 2016’s “Lemonade,” which was itself a surprise release and her sixth solo album. “Renaissance” will mark her seventh, though the secondary title, “act i,” suggests it’s part of a larger, or multi-part, project.
The “will she or won’t she” guessing had started less than two weeks prior when Knowles wiped clean her social media channels, signaling that an announcement of some kind was coming. Then on June 15, the singer’s BeyGOOd Foundation tweeted a message in honor of Black Music Month, posting an image of iconic albums and captioning the collage: “Celebrating the brilliance and creativity of Black Musicians who have influenced the world through their art.”
